AS we looked down this wonderful
gallery lat recent exhibition In Lon
donl from our point of vantage. there
came slowly along toward US little
group consisting of ten or twelve gentle
men and two ladies, walking In this wise
In the centre was a low-sized. stout red
faced old lady, apparently sixty odd
years OF age. This was Queen Vic
toria.
She wore q black silk dress made
short enough to escape the floor; the
skirt waa full, the front being covered
with six or eight vandyked7 fiouDces.
The back of the skirt hung full and
plain. Over this was worn q simple
little black cloth dolman wrap. A close
large black bonnet, from which hung a
short, black round net or grenadineveil,
was on her head.
Her face was rosy TO the point Of red
ness, her hair very gray and brushed
simply behind her ears the cheeks were
not red all over, but sort Of notified
red and white.
Once she smiled as some gentleman
OF the party was presented to her, In
ciined her head toward him In q graz
eious but aristocratic sort OF way, and
exposed all her teeth as she smiled.
They were very white. and so even and
perfect as to look suspiciously false.
The Queen carried gold-handl0d
ebony walking stick, and made good
use OF 1t, leaning on 1t as she stopped
to look In tho cases Or to talk, with
her elbow a-kimbo, In q comfortable
fashion that did my heart good.
She walked rapidly along, moving In
q booming, ship-under-full-sail sort OF
fashion, an idea borne out by her ample
skirts and fat. dumpy body. New Or.

|. "a" A Blaine paper, alluding to Mr..
Blaine's remark that he had never felt that
he had not been elected, praises him highly
for having submitted quietly to the result
instead of raising the fraud cry and claiming
a new count. But Mr.. Blaine did raise the
fraud cry in effect in his Augusta speech, and
his frantic dispatches to his New York man.
ayers for day or two after the election
showed to what desperate extreIae he would
have gone if his agents had not been too
cowardly and too well watched. Fear on the
part of Republican managers and vigilance
on the part of the Democrats alone prevent
ed another great presidential fraud. Blaine
shrieked to his friendsin New York to claim
everything, and they would not only have
claimed everything but would have collar
ed" everything if they had not been SO vigi-
lantly watched Chicago Times.

Cleveland's Great Reform.

The action taken by President Cleveland's s
administration in opening the railroad in
demnity lands to settlement, the New York
Times says "will be regarded hereafter as one
of the greatest achievements of his admins
tration. For Il years broad belts of public
land, covering in the aggregate 1OO,OOO,0OO
acres, Or tract equal in extent to the area of
the four Middle States and the six New Eng
land States, had, by orders of the interior de-
|partment, been closed to settlers to serve the
convenience of powerful corporations and to
enable these corporations. to cypress those
who might try 20 make homes within the
boundaries" a't &SHl E.1E ssaszE4
These indemnify belts should not be con-
founded with the grant belts. In the indem-
nifty belts the corporations have never had
any rights by law except the rightto select a
comparatively small number of sections to
make good the loss of the same number OF
sections in the grant belts. Yet the Interior
Department under Republican rule was for
years so completely under the control of the
land grant corporations that all of these in
demnity belts containing perhaps 30 sec
tions which the corporations could never ac-
auire by law for every one section which they
could lawfully take to make good their losses
in the grant belts were promptly withdrawn
from settlement by department orders, and
have remained closed until this time. All
this jobbery must now cease. The compa-
nies must take their legal share, and in the
remainder of this great tract of 100, ,OOO,-
900 acres the settler will be able. to secure IL
tie from the government under the general
land laws. SIS this not an achievement
asks the New York Times, ''of which the ad-
ministration may we'll be proud, and for
which it deserves the, hearty praise sof all hon
est men and lovers Of Justice, irrespective OF

is claimed that upon this vital point the
District Court lodged the question. If an

~ The Toledo Journal walls president
Cleveland spent memorial day fishing" and
then tries hard to make out of this fact that
President Cleveland was not friendly to the
soldiers. The fact is, President Cleveland
with his family was enjoying a few days
pleasure away from Washington when
memorial day came around, and no doubt had
he been athome he would have observed the
dayin common with others. Now what was the
editor of the Journal doing upon that day?
No doubt swilling something which turned
his head, else he would not have written such
silly stuff in order to make point against
eur Democratic President, one of the best
Presidents the country has ever had. Sober
